If you've had a sexual experience that didn’t feel fully consensual—whether recently or long ago—and it’s affecting you, you’re not alone. And you deserve support.

YWCA Missoula is offering a free, 10-week support group. This is a space to process and heal from sexual assault, coercion, or non-consensual experiences, and to connect with others who understand.

✔️Pre-registration is required! Contact Carol at (406) 541-4006 or croberts@ywcaofmissoula to register or learn more.

Group begins September 17th and is *tentatively* scheduled for Thursdays at 6:30 PM.

💜 Free & open to all genders

Want to help shape the future of YWCA Missoula?

We’re looking for up to five new members to join our Board of Directors, with terms beginning in January 2027.

Our board helps guide the programs and services that provide safe shelter, housing support, and vital resources for families experiencing domestic and sexual violence.

We’re especially seeking people with experience in social work, legal or financial fields, communications/PR, and construction/development—but we value a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and skills. If you care about building a safer, more equitable Missoula, we’d love to hear from you.

Board members commit to:
• A three-year term
• Monthly board meetings
• Serving on at least one committee
• Supporting fundraising and community engagement

Applications are due October 16, 2026.

Want to make a real difference in our community?

Our next Volunteer Advocate Training starts September 9—and we’d love to have you join us.

Over four weeks, you’ll get hands-on training in how to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence and families experiencing homelessness. You’ll learn about trauma-informed advocacy, provide support in our emergency shelters, help answer our 24-hour crisis line, support children staying in shelter, and help people navigate resources and next steps.

No previous experience is required. Just a willingness to listen, learn, and show up for others. ❤️

Training runs September 9–October 3:
• Mondays & Wednesdays, 5:30–7:30 p.m.
• Saturdays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Training is free for incoming YWCA volunteers. Volunteers must be 18+ and willing to complete a background check.

It's almost back-to-school season (!!!), and we're collecting school supplies for kids staying at the YWCA shelters.

Starting a new school year is a big deal for any kid. Having a new backpack, a fresh water bottle, and the supplies they need can help them walk into the classroom feeling prepared and confident.

Want to help?

🧡 Order supplies directly from our Amazon Wish List- https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/3N6W5LD9BNK2A - scroll down to get to School Supplies
🧡 Or drop off new school supplies at the YWCA front desk during business hours

Thank you! Every backpack, pack of pencils, and box of crayons makes a difference.

Last week we kicked off our first hike for Shelter to Summit, a new project supported by a grant from The Rut Mountain Runs to help families staying at our Family Housing Center get out on Missoula's trails.

✨It was a total success✨

We split into two groups, led by staff, so everyone could choose the adventure that felt right for them. One group hiked the M while the other explored the Kim Williams trail. In all, 18 residents (including 12 kids) plus one very good dog, joined us before we all reunited for the essential post-hike ice cream.

One teenager almost didn't come because he said he "doesn't like outdoor stuff" and had never made it to the top of the M. He decided to give it a shot anyway—and crushed it. On the drive home he kept saying, "That was so fun," and "I'm not going to stop talking about it." By the end of the night, he was already asking when the next hike is 🥹

That's exactly why we're doing this.

Everyone deserves the chance to experience the joy, confidence, connection, and freedom that comes from spending time on the trail. Missoula is surrounded by incredible places to explore, but families experiencing homelessness are often excluded from these opportunities because of barriers like transportation, gear, or simply having the capacity to make it happen.

Here’s to walking more trails together. We are SOOOO stoked for the next one. 🧡🧡🧡

And while we’re at it... housing is a human right and no one should be homeless on stolen land!

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It's a celebration of freedom, resilience, and Black history, culture, and contributions.

At YWCA Missoula, our mission to eliminate racism calls us to not only reflect on our nation's history, but also to continue working toward a more just and equitable future for all.

We encourage our community to attend Missoula's Juneteenth celebration tomorrow, June 19, from 10:30 a.m.–3:45 p.m. at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula, hosted by the Montana Black Collective. The event will include speakers, cultural presentations, historical re-enactments, art activities, an African dance workshop, and a free community lunch.

In observance of Juneteenth, YWCA Missoula's main offices will be closed tomorrow. Our 24/7 Pathways Crisis & Support Line remains available at 406-542-1944.

Happy Juneteenth!!
